This article is concerned with the unsteady squeezing flow of non-Newtonian fluid between two parallel plates. A rheological equation of second grade fluid is used. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of a magnetic field. A transformation procedure reduces the partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. A series solution is developed using a modern mathematical scheme. The solution expressions for velocity components are computed and discussed. In addition, the skin friction coefficient is analyzed through tabulated values.
